Back in the saddle again! Hey I got two cards created at the most amazing evening last night! 6 of my bestest girl friends here in Des Moines and my wonderful friend Brenda (who drove in from MO) joined me for an evening of Copic coloring! I had a wonderful time! Did a little teaching and helping one on one with images both from my on-line class and images they brought to play with. Chatted and laughed a lot and in general had a very special evening! Thank you sooooo much ladies! The cards I completed are a complete side bonus, Oh and I made a note from the tooth fairy that was a little tardy in delivering the goods (oops!) but she made good by leaving a note with Copic colored image of herself and 4 quarters woop woop! Lori was the one waiting patiently for the note she lost her second front tooth and is sporting quite the gap now!

On to the cards here is one with an adorable Michelle Perkett digital image that she gave out free at her site! The card completes this weeks challenge “cute as a button” right up my ally since I am still slightly addicted to buttons 🙂

This second card is from Christy Croll’s collection with Stamping Bella they just started carrying them at Archiver’s so I could not resist! How cute and way to go Stamping Bella for getting on at Archiver’s! Not sure if this card will fit in at Christy’s on-line digital site Tiddly Inks but I sure will see if I can make it fit! He He

We have one last week of swimming two more weeks of diving and then our Oregon trip, one last week of summer than school! Yikes how did that happen!!!!!

Hugs all!

Challenges Challenges!

I am trying to get a few posted before I take off on an adventure! I am going to take a Copic class all about using your Copics and Copic ink in mixed media art. So excited! I am sure I will have a lot to share after tomorrow! In the mean time here are two challenges for two of my favorite digi stamp sites!

First here is my unfinished layout for Tiddly Inks. The title is going to be Dancing Divas (the theme was Divas over at Tiddly Inks) and the photos should arrive in my mailbox tomorrow 🙂

Here is a close up of my “Sugar Plum Fairy” colored of course with Copics. She has stickles added to her wings, a Sdtardust pen on her tutu and sand colored atyou Spica pen on her crown.

Here is the next layout created for a bingo game over at Michelle Perkett Studio. This is where I yell BLACKOUT! Yep got all 9 things on my layout; lace, ribbon, glitter, pearls, 2 backing papers, brads, die cut (the circle ring the title sits on), scallops, and the mermaid is wearing flowers in her hair! Woo Hoo


Here is a close up of the image. Hard to see but the glitter is in her hair, very subtle.


I best be off hugs all!

One more “cuppie” for another b-day friend that I just found out about. I decided to use the fun sketch over at Taylored Expressions for this one and fulfill their challenge while I was at it.

We are spending a quiet Memorial day today. The girls swam with Dad this morning and I got groceries done. We all had hot dogs and homemade fries for lunch then dad and I hit the couch for a nap. yeah! Tonight might have to be an ice cream night 🙂

Hugs all!
